Public bug reported:
A "remote magtape protocol module? On PCs? In 2016?
The are potential users for this thing, maybe, on Z-series mainframes,
but having it be autoinstalled on vanilla desktop machines, or even
ordinary servers, is deeply silly.
Recommendation: split the package. Yes, tar is essential; rmt is not.
